## Description

Build macros, chain sequences, and run Local AI models directly from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Requires free Mac companion app (download at glancepad.app)

Control your Mac in a single tap.

GlancePad Remote turns your iPhone and iPad into a fast control surface for macOS. Execute actions instantly: launch apps, run Shortcuts, open URLs, paste text, and trigger multi-step sequences.

Runs locally through the free GlancePad Agent on your Mac. No accounts required.

Mac control, built for speed
	•	Tile Library: organize macros into pages and run instantly
	•	Macro Builder: create and edit macros with a guided editor
	•	Sequences: chain steps together (optional “continue on error”)
	•	Import from Mac: browse installed apps + Shortcuts for quick setup
	•	Themes + layouts: minimal by default, customizable when you want

AI Studio (Compose + Perform)

Use natural language to build automation:
	•	Compose: generate a macro to review before you run it
	•	Perform: execute immediately on your connected Mac (GlancePad Pro)

Local AI on your Mac (managed from iPhone/iPad)

Local AI runs on your Mac via the GlancePad Agent — your iPhone/iPad is the control surface.
	•	Live Status: Clear, real-time indicators for downloading, starting, and running states.
	•	Download to your Mac with progress: bytes + phase updates
	•	Pause or cancel downloads: with confirmation and safe recovery
	•	Safety acknowledgment flow: guided enablement when required
	•	Runner troubleshooting: clear fix path if Local AI runner is disabled
	•	Auto-guidance: setup card expands when attention is needed

Apple Watch companion included

GlancePad for watchOS extends your setup to your wrist:
	•	Requests: voice/text requests with live status updates
	•	MacroFaces: curated macro grids for quick tap-to-execute
	•	Agent Control: view Mac connection + Local AI status and control core actions (via your iPhone)

(Watch communicates Watch ↔ iPhone ↔ Mac. The watch does not connect to the Mac directly.)

Local-first by design
	•	No accounts required
	•	No cloud execution required
	•	Macros and requests remain within your device ecosystem (iPhone/watch relay to your Mac)

GlancePad Pro (one-time unlock)

	•	Up to 24 pages (Free: 2)
	•	Up to 9 tiles per page (Free: 6)
	•	Unlimited sequence steps (Free: 3)
	•	AI Studio Perform mode (Compose remains available on Free)
	•	Additional Pro-only themes, Pro-only layouts, and per-macro color customization

	•	A Mac on the same local network
	•	GlancePad Agent for macOS (free download at glancepad.app)
	•	Apple Watch features require a paired iPhone
